It could be a bad thing for the GA pvt pilot. Too many already have their eyes inside looking at too many instruments while on final approach--thanks to the FAA and Jeppessen integrated method of teaching instruments at lesson 4 of the PPL! For navy pilots doing precision approaches to a postage stamp, it's critical. For a vfr 172, not so much.
